NTFSPLUS Driver Updated As It Works Toward The Mainline Kernel (www.phoronix.com)

Announced last month was the NTFSPLUS driver as a new NTFS file-system driver for the Linux kernel with better write performance and more features compared to the existing NTFS options. A second iteration of that driver was recently queued into "ntfs-next" raising prospects that this NTFSPLUS driver could soon attempt to land in the mainline Linux kernel.

Namjae Jeon as the exFAT Linux driver developer, KSMBD maintainer, and contributions to other Linux storage code is the one that has been leading the NTFSPLUS effort. The NTFSPLUS driver offers better performance, a cleaner codebase, and other improvements compared to Paragon's NTFS3 driver that is within maintenance mode in the mainline kernel and compared to the other NTFS read-only kernel driver.

Soon, the kernel will have more NTFS drivers than native filesystems.

The year is 2046, the ntfs4g++-next driver is put into maintenance mode as Linux slowly phases out support for the legacy operating system "windows".
